They are citing safety concerns, property damage, and a complete lack of accountability. Michelle Chin Ling Ling, Parti Impian Sabah Treasurer and Kapayan Division Chief, criticised the inaction by the Unit Pemimpin Pembangunan Masyarakat (UPPM).

"Despite multiple reports submitted to UPPM, there has been no concrete action taken. 'The only response received so far has been waiting for funds. This ongoing delay has caused daily inconvenience and concern for the villagers," she said. Chin added that Parti Impian Sabah is calling on the public to pressure on the UPPM through social media and other platforms to push for urgent repairs. 'Our community deserves safe and accessible roads. We cannot afford to wait any longer," she stressed. Among the frustrated residents is Eric Constantine, who suffered a tire blowout after hitting one of the many potholes in the village. 'I hit a pothole in my village and my tire got completely torn. 'We've already informed the Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK), and we're still waiting for the PPM to take any action. "This road has been full of holes for so long, and the response has been incredibly slow. We keep reporting it and nothing gets done.' He expressed concern over reports that the area's appointed PPM officer had resigned after joining an independent political party. 'The people don't care if the PPM quit or switched parties, just get someone who can actually do the job. "This is about road safety, not politics. What if a motorcyclist hits a pothole and gets seriously injured or worse? 'And where do I go to claim compensation for my damaged tire?' he added. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
